Giving Mothers' Day Gifts

Dear Gentlemen,

Should I get the mother of my children or my own mother the more valuable/nicer gift for Mothers' Day?

Sincerely,

Humbled by Holidays

Dear Humbled,

The mother of your children. First, you probably live with her. Second, it’s a newer, more exciting thing for her. Third, she’s more likely to be in the heavy lifting part of motherhood, and thus deserving of the better present. Fourth, any mother worth her salt will know that the love, decency and consideration you show your wife or girlfriend is a direct reflection of how well she raised you.

That said, try to keep yourself out of a situation where your wife and your mother will be comparing gifts.

Best,

The Gentlemen
